Sanction-seeking Apple publicly disclosed Nokia terms

Apple previously sought sanctions against Samsung in ongoing litigation between the two companies for using confidential licensing terms between the Cupertino company and Nokia — but a recent report notes Apple actually filed its terms with Nokia on a publicly available court docket. The terms remained on the docket for about four months. Samsung was not sanctioned for using the terms, but its law firm was ordered to reimburse Apple and Nokia for its legal fees in the matter. It’s now possible those fees could be reduced. Samsung is now seeking more information on Apple’s public disclosures, and may even pursue its own sanctions against Apple. [via FOSS Patents]
